##
Product

### Library

Non_linear

### Description

The Product block performs multiplication or division of its inputs. This block produces outputs using either element-wise or matrix multiplication, depending on the value of the Multiplication parameter. You specify the operations with the Number of inputs parameter. Multiply(+1) and divide (-1) characters indicate the operations to be performed on the inputs:

### Dialog Box

Set multiplication block parameters |
Number of inputs or sign vector (multiplication: + 1, division: -1) | [1;-1]

- Number of inputs or sign vector : Enter the number of inputs.

### Default properties

- always active: no
- direct-feedthrough: yes
- zero-crossing: no
- mode: no
- number/sizes of inputs: 2 / -1 -1
- number/sizes of outputs: 1 / -1
- number/sizes of activation inputs: 0 /
- number/sizes of activation outputs: 0 /
- continuous-time state: no
- discrete-time state: no
- name of computational function: product
